>JayBob is exactly right, Mr. NorCal, Jim Cates will be attending Arkiecon
>for the first time this year.  It will be my third trip, and I am looking
>forward to it very much.  Arkiecon is very well run, and if you live
>anywhere within driving distance, make sure to attend.  There is a great
>motel that is brand new, and is like $41 a night or something like that.  We
>all stayed there last year and had a blast.  It comes with all the
>amenities, hot water, showers, clean rooms (no dust balls or M&M's or other
>unmentionables under the bed), towels, air conditioning and heat, and it is
>a great place to stay.

>Arkiecon gets underway with a no host dinner Friday night at the Ribeye, and
>that is always a lot of fun.  I cannot wait to see Tony and Graham eat Fried
>Cukes and Turkey Fries.  Plus, you will remember that the Hanging Judge
>Kelsey played a great practical joke on me last year at the dinner.  I
>didn't get mad, just vowed to get even and I will announce how at the
>dinner, and boy will I get even.

>Saturday is a fun time with the ham fest and the forums.  The Ft. Smith Ham
>Radio Club does a great job in putting on the hamfest.  Hanging Judge Kelsey
>and Win Dooley, Keith Newman and the rest of the guys do a fantastic job.
>The venue is great, the hall is huge and the swap tables are all indoors,
>and the place is packed with tables.  Last year there were 4 or 5 tables
>with qrp gear, including a great selection of keys from Dennis Foster, the
>TeNeKey guy from Oklahoma.  The forums are in a nice large room, right next
>to the excellent snack bar, so eating is not a problem.
>
>But the best part of Arkiecon is after the forums.  Last year there was a
>free barbecue dinner, and then demos and show and tell visiting for hours.
>JayBob and Kathy Vines are working on this again for this year, hopefully it
>will be the same.  Look for an announcement on that.  Vern Wright will be
>there to set up his antennas, and you will get the chance to bring your rig
>and try one of his models out Saturday night.  Nothing like actually using
>an antenna.
>
>Right now 3 of us will be coming from California for it, and we have several
>more who are thinking about it.  A couple of them are very well known
>qrpers.  Hope to see you there.
>
>One last thing, JayBob is negotiating for a Grand Prize that will knock your
>socks off.  But I'll let him announce that.  Hope to see you in Arkansas,
>the land of Ice and Snow (now not in April).  72, Doug
